This seems to be fairly common and one of the reasons my jills are
spayed no later than four years of age. For a while I thought some
jills seemed healthier if left intact, but a couple of ovarian tumor
surgeries changed my view.

The jills who had the surgery never had problems with it spreading.
Hopefully this will also be this jill's case.
